An episode of combat use of the Russian 152-mm self-propelled gun 2S43 "Malva" in the Kursk region of Russia. The self-propelled gun "Malva" is mounted on the chassis BAZ-6910-027 "Voshchina". Judging by the video, the artillery gun used is still 2A64, it is planned to replace it with a longer-range one.

You have a link for that? If not, I’ll delete your post for spreading misinformation.
He is not totally wrong. Russia opened up leases for land to foreigners in their Far East regions to whoever wants to develop them. And lots of Chinese farmers and loggers moved in. Where he is wrong is his claim about it being under Chinese rule. You are still in the Russian Federation and need to heed the country's laws. You still need to pay taxes.

The new Trump national security adviser supports allowing Ukraine to strike into Russian territory in order to increase US' leverage for a peace negotiation

2025 Trump Administration is going to be a even bigger clown show than in the past, he and some of his close allies want to end support for Ukraine but he select a guy who wants exacerbate the war, the stooge will either get what he wants or he will get fired in the first months.

Two Slavic nations with a common history and religious and philosophical heritage, whose soldiers almost all speak Russian, kill each other. All this is reminiscent of the times of warring kingdoms.

Russia is preparing an assault on the southern front, according to the Ukrainian army

- Russia has reinforced its military contingent and stepped up its bombardments in anticipation of an assault on the southern front, where positions have remained largely unchanged in recent months, a Ukrainian military spokesman has said.

- North Korea has ratified a historic defence agreement with Russia, sealing their rapprochement against the backdrop of Moscow's war in Ukraine, the official North Korean news agency KCNA reported on Tuesday.

- The head of US diplomacy, Antony Blinken, will be in Brussels on Tuesday for emergency talks with the Europeans in an attempt to speed up aid to Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Drones have changed modern warfare and one wonders whether tanks still have a future.

Putin sent thousands of convicted prisoners to war and about 50,000 pooiboin Ukraine.

This is the fate of one of them.

Ten years ago, Russian Denis Sinitsyn killed a mother of two children. Not just any Uzbeks, but natural Russians. The case took place in Chebarkul, but even by local standards Sinitsyn had had enough. He not only stabbed the woman to death, but also gouged out her eyes and raped her. Yes," said residents of the Chelyabinsk region, "that's a lot for us Russians. What a way to stab her eyes! However," they added, "as long as there was no war.

And Denis was then convicted and jailed, and nothing was heard of him until recently. And now a resident of Chebarkul went for a walk down her dirty, trashy street and suddenly came to a great surprise. In front of her eyes hung a stand, and on the stand hung long ago convicted murderer Denis Sinitsyn - now a soldier of Russia, a member of the SVO and a dead hero. The collective, the small homeland and the whole big country were stubbornly proud of him.

That's a lot of drone hit to finish a disabled tank... tossing a grenade inside with a fpv drop would have been better after the first hit.

The Russians had developed a longer gun for the Msta-SM but I never heard of it entering serial production.


He is not totally wrong. Russia opened up leases for land to foreigners in their Far East regions to whoever wants to develop them. And lots of Chinese farmers and loggers moved in. Where he is wrong is his claim about it being under Chinese rule. You are still in the Russian Federation and need to heed the country's laws. You still need to pay taxes.

I heard of this as the 2A79 that's used on the MSTA-SM2, which is designated as 2S33 and not 2S19. This is the current production standard of the MSTA-S. The 2A79 is an L60 gun. Everything I have seen on the Internet refers to the 2S33 having this gun.

Not the 2A88 of the Koalitsya-SV which was the original intended gun, but it's more likely to be the 2A79 of the MSTA-SM2 rather than the 2A64 of the MSTA-S. Production of shared parts should center on what is the current production standard, which in this case is the 2S33 MSTA-SM2 and it's 2A79 gun, as this would simplify both production and logistics.
